ABOUT THE ART

The 80s gave us lots of a great toys. Heroes were good, righteous, and sadly, a bit bland; villains, on the other hand, were cunning, charismatic, and often comical. There were a number of plastic villains we all had to have—villains who schemed to invade our sister's tea parties, raid the cookie jar and terrorize the family cat.

Your best work yet! Thank you for taking me back in time. I remember the Vader figure with the retractable light saber that would bend or lose it tip. Not mine. I took good care of my toys. Cobra Commander and the action figures from He-Man, Transformers and Thundercats. It's an action figure party. P.S. I don't recognize the ninja like figure in the group.

Thanks for the kind words! And that's Teeanage Mutant Ninja Turtle's Shredder, circa 1986. He's a little beyond my toy-playing years, but for many guys I know ranks as one of the most popular toy villains.
